Title: ThB-ThC: A CONVENIENT PAIR OF GENETICALLY RELATED RADIONUCLIDES FOR THE GROWTH DECAY STUDY
Abstract: A pair of genetically related radionuclides, ThB (pb/sup 212/)ThC (Bi/ sup 212/), is recommended for growth-decay study in radiochemistry because the source of the radionuclides is easily obtained. Also, in a short experiment time, the student can determine the growth of the daughter product, the time of maximum activity of the mixture as well as the daughter, the rate of decay of the system after attaining radioactive equilibrium, and the half life of a simple radioactive decay. The advantage of this pair over the systems in general use is discussed, and the experiment is outlined. (auth)
